Don't Eff With Old People

Sure they may look homely with their sky-blue Sansabelts and hairnets, but those octogenarians can get rough. On a side trip in Puerto Rico, a group of senior citizens from a cruise ship were held up by three assailants. An ex-military passenger got a gunman in a headlock and snapped his neck while the others beat the two remaining criminals off the bus.

I guess that's why the phrase isn't "like taking candy from a senior citizen."
